Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 190 Quick Defeat

By July 9th, Li Yanxian's 20th rebel army had arrived near Baoan Prefecture, not far from Li Xianzhong's camp!

Right now, Li Yanxian sent someone to investigate the surrounding situation! Most of their rebels are natives of the Northwest, and they have an unusual understanding of the terrain in the Northwest, so they are not afraid of Li Xianzhong laying an ambush here!

Sure enough, the information that came in showed that Li Xianzhong had been in the camp west of Baoan Prefecture, and Li Xianzhong's 12th Route Rebel Army had gathered there at this moment! Moreover, there is indeed a large amount of food and grass there, and the intelligence shows that the Twelve Route Rebels eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day, and their life is far better than that of Li Yanxian's rebels!

"Very good! I was worried that they would flee, but now that they haven't, we can defeat them in one fell swoop and get food, grass and weapons!" Li Yanxian laughed.

"Brother, let's go now!" Shao Yun said.

"Okay! Please don't slack off, boys and girls. Don't worry about brotherhood when you are on the battlefield. Go ahead and kill them! They have joined Emperor Xuanwu, they are no longer our brothers, they are our mortal enemies!" Li Yanxian said loudly.

"Understood!" Shao Yun nodded.

At present, Li Yanxian's 20th rebel army bypassed Baoan Prefecture and headed directly to the east!

By the afternoon, they had already approached Li Xianzhong's camp!

Just like that, Li Yanxian led an army of 200,000 people and rushed towards the camp ahead!

Although this Li Yanxian is also a well-known figure in history, his fame is mainly because he took the lead in resisting the Jin soldiers. In history, he was a famous leader of the rebel army. He mainly fought guerrillas against the Jin soldiers. He had never confronted the Jin soldiers head-on! He came from a wealthy businessman, and he has no experience in direct combat at all, and he has never had a direct confrontation with Jin Bing! Even if he leads an army of 200,000, he is still attacking with the means of rebels, that is, swarming up without any formation or strategy!

Li Xianzhong is also the leader of the rebel army, but he was born in a family of soldiers in the Northwest. He learned strategy since he was a child. He is much better at such large-scale battles than Li Yanxian!

Li Yanxian was getting closer and closer to the camp in front, and an extremely excited expression appeared on his face!

Since the establishment of the Rebel Army, he has not commanded such a large-scale war, this is the first time! This is much more refreshing than the previous sneak attack on Jinbing! He is now imagining the scene of leading the army south to conquer Chang'an City and Tongguan after breaking through Li Xianzhong's camp! He also has his own "ambition". When Chang'an City and Tongguan are conquered, he plans to lead 200,000 rebels to conquer Dashan Pass and Hanzhong, and capture Emperor Xuanwu alive! Then he planned to lead 200,000 rebels northward to defeat Jurchen, and in the future he could become a figure like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and be famous forever!

"Haha, haha..." He couldn't help laughing out loud!

He hasn't found anything wrong until now!

They had already arrived at the camp, but no one in the camp rushed out!

"Kill!" Li Yanxian laughed and rushed into the camp!

At this time, he finally realized that something was wrong!

There is no one in this camp!

"Strange! Go!" Li Yanxian still shouted loudly!

He charged in with 200,000 rebels, but he still didn't find a single person!

"Li Shifu, a cowardly and incompetent person, has already escaped?" Li Yanxian asked in surprise.

"It seems so!" Shao Yun nodded and said.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Puffs of black smoke suddenly rose around the camp!

"It's bad, Li Shifu is a despicable villain, he is actually setting fire! God, he wants to burn us all to death!"

Finally someone found out that something was wrong, and the 20 volunteers in the camp were in chaos, and they all went outside!

Even Li Yanxian was anxious, he never thought that he would be ambushed! If this camp is completely set on fire, I'm afraid the 20th Route Rebel Army will suffer heavy losses!

"Quick! Quick! Escape from here!" Li Yanxian shouted loudly.

He has already hurriedly headed outside! There were rebel soldiers standing in front of him, and he kicked them away!

The surrounding smoke was getting bigger and bigger, and Li Yanxian even felt that his vision was a little blurry!

At this moment, the sky-shattering shouts of killing sounded!

Li Xianzhong finally led his 12th Route Rebel Army to surround them from all directions!

The rebels under Li Yanxian had just come out of the camp, and they were immediately besieged! Li Xianzhong has obviously been waiting here for a long time!

At this moment Li Xianzhong was standing on a high slope, such high slopes abound on the Loess Plateau! He looked at the battle scene below without any excitement in his heart! He knew that the leader of the rebel army like Li Yanxian who became a monk halfway was definitely not his opponent! He didn't feel very happy about defeating Li Yanxian either! They are all my brothers, so this time there will inevitably be casualties!

As for the smoke in the camp, it was caused by the burning of some wet firewood he had prepared long ago! The smoke produced by these wet wood is a lot, but the fire caused by it is extremely small! Li Xianzhong couldn't really burn the 200,000 rebels to death here, he just wanted to make the 200,000 rebels mess up and be defeated by himself!

"Pass down the order, surrender and not kill!" Li Xianzhong said.

As soon as this order was conveyed, voices of "surrender and not kill" were everywhere on the battlefield for a while!

The 200,000 troops under Li Yanxian were already in chaos at this moment. After hearing the voice of surrendering without killing, countless people under him knelt down and threw their weapons away! Anyway, everyone is a rebel army, and they have a passion for each other, and they also believe that the other party will not really kill them!

In less than an hour, this ridiculous war ended!

There were kneeling rebel soldiers everywhere below, only Li Yanxian led more than a hundred diehards to stand at the gate of the camp!

At this moment, the expression on Li Yanxian's face is very ugly! He didn't expect that even the first step of his "great ambitions" could not be realized! The leader of the rebel army himself was unable to defeat this kid Li Xianzhong! He didn't expect Li Shifu to be so powerful! He used to be the leader of the rebel army, and he always looked down on Li Shifu, a young boy! In his opinion, Li Shifu was just because of his good background, so a group of people in northern Shaanxi followed him. He always felt that Li Shifu had no real skills! But now he was defeated by Li Shifu!

A month ago, he was still chasing Emperor Xuanwu, and it's only been a month, and he has suffered a crushing defeat!

Li Xianzhong had strode up to Li Yanxian and the others at this moment, looking at Li Yanxian with a smile!

"Li Xianzhong, don't be complacent! You betrayed the rebel army and took refuge in Emperor Xuanwu! If this spreads, all heroes in the Jianghu will cast aside you!" Li Yanxian said coldly.

"I betrayed the rebels by taking refuge in Emperor Xuanwu, and you betrayed the rebels by taking refuge in King Kang?" Li Xianzhong said.

"You don't care about brotherhood! Many brothers died in this battle, it's all your fault!" Li Yanxian said again.

"It's because you led the troops here, and I had to resist! The reason why these brothers died in battle was because of you, how did it become my crime?" Li Xianzhong snorted coldly.

"If you sent food and grass to my hands, why would I bring troops here?" Li Yanxian asked.

"Didn't you take refuge in Emperor Jianyan? Why didn't you let Emperor Jianyan give you food and grass? After you took refuge in him, you only got the position of Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan and Shanxi. Besides, the brothers will follow you Starve to death! You only think about your own power and power, and never consider the interests of your brothers! Now do you still think you did the right thing?" Li Xianzhong said.

"This... Immortal Lin Lingsu has already said that the destiny is on the side of Emperor Jianyan! I am acting in accordance with the sky!" Li Yanxian argued strongly.

Li Xianzhong shook his head, he did not argue with Li Yanxian, and said loudly: "Brothers, Emperor Xuanwu is kind. Although Li Yanxian once tried to assassinate Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanwu said that it was his fault alone, not the brothers. Your sins! Now, brothers, as long as they surrender to Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Xuanwu will naturally forgive you all! Even Li Yanxian, if he is willing to surrender, Emperor Xuanwu will forgive him! Brothers, you can choose for yourself!"

There are more than 100,000 troops outside, and there is no other choice to go under such circumstances! Unless you want to die, you know what to do!

The hundreds of people beside Li Yanxian looked at each other at this moment, and finally one person came out, knelt down on the ground, and said: "I, Shaoyun, am willing to surrender to Emperor Xuanwu, from now on, only Emperor Xuanwu will follow!"

This person is Li Yanxian's sworn brother Shao Yun. Seeing Shao Yun come out and kneel down, the rest of the hundred or so people were stunned. After a while, several people came out and knelt on the ground. Everyone came over and knelt down on the ground!

Li Yanxian was the only one standing there on the spot!

"Brother Li, you used to be the leader of the rebel army. Your majesty said that you deserve credit for resisting the golden soldiers! If you surrender, instead of blaming you, your majesty will reward you! Surrender!" Li Xianzhong looked at Li Yanxian, Said lightly.

Li Yanxian felt sweat dripping from his forehead, and countless rebel leaders and soldiers around him were looking at him. Finally, Li Yanxian couldn't bear it anymore, knelt down on the ground, and said, "I am willing to surrender to Emperor Xuanwu!"

"Brother Li, you have to swear to Second Master Guan!" After thinking for a while, Li Xianzhong said again.

Guan Erye has the supreme status above the green forest and the underworld, and brotherhood and so on must be held in front of Guan Erye! If you swear to Guan Erye, then you must not betray! If you break your oath, no one in the green forest or the underworld can tolerate you!

"Okay! I swear to Guan Erye that I will be loyal to Emperor Xuanwu from now on and will not betray Emperor Xuanwu!" Li Yanxian said.

Only then did Li Xianzhong feel relieved, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, please get up!"

*** ***

He had just finished dealing with the matter here, and countless soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in the distance!

These soldiers and horses are all dressed up in the regular Song army, and there are a total of 50,000 to 60,000 people! These are the Huanqing Army and Jingyuan Army who came to northern Shaanxi. They were stationed at Jinding Mountain and Ziwuling respectively. They came to help Li Xianzhong, but Li Xianzhong had already subdued Li Yanxian!

Li Xianzhong told about Li Yanxian's surrender, Liu Qi frowned, and said: "This person colluded with Lin Lingsu, Wu Qing and others to try to murder His Majesty, and his crime is serious. If you don't kill this person, how can you explain to Your Majesty?"

Li Xianzhong said: "After all, this person is the leader of the rebel army in northern Shaanxi, and he has a very high reputation among the rebel army! If he is killed, I am afraid that the hundreds of thousands of rebel troops will be in chaos, and that will be extremely detrimental to your majesty's great cause! I think your majesty Even here, this person's life will be spared!"
